You can post the CLS file using the "CLSF Manager " (Ctrl + Alt + C). It is a very older way of doing post processing and has been slowly worked away from.
When I'm posting a CLS file I first...

Really? That's awesome! Just sent them an email to see how the process is done. Thanks

Upon installing my new power supply, I ignorantly put a switch on the DC side (between the power supply and G540). The new setup was running fine for a couple weeks until today when it made a loud...

Yea I'm seeing the same thing with the info not matching ;/ thank you all for the information, it has been very helpful.

I'm on a budget right now and cant seem to find a 48v10a cheaper than 100....

Here is the only info that I could find on it.

Thanks

So I have been racking my brain and have spent an endless amount of time searching trying to find an answer to my question which is... How do I run my 8 wire steppers bipolar+parallel?

My steppers...

I currently have a G540, 4 x #23-305-DS8A (hobbycnc stepper motors), with a 24v DIY power supply from hobbycnc. The problem is I think I am too under powered because I keep receiving an error when...

I have also been trying to find the perfect combination ( step over, feed, tool) to make a good litho out of pvc pipe. I first used a 30deg bit and ran into the fuzzy problem, so bad that even taking...

I have a 2x3 8020 cnc router that was built using CNCrouterparts.com plans. I was wondering if there are any build plans for a 4th axis out there? I plan on making it out of aluminum and need it to...

I think your best way to attach the casters is to make an adapter plate that bolts into the tapped holes on the 8020, and bolts to the caster. For stability, I have no idea since I do not have any...

For Z if you have a solid table you could always put a dial indicator in the spindle and sweep a large circle and tweak it from there. If you dont have a dial indicator or a way to put the indicator...

Thank you rando and switcher for your help with my problem. It appears that my dots for the halftone image are just too close to each other to even be practical to machine.

I somewhat solved my initial problem. I did not realize that I had to use the R12 dxf converter. Now when I save the bmp as a dxf file, the Dos window with the python.exe will just sit there and not...

Hello all,

I created a halftone image with Inkscape and used Switcher's tuturial to create a dxf file with the image. When I create the dxf file it only creates a series of dots that are the same...

Thank you for all the great ideas. I totally forgot about 3m77. I went ahead and used the 3m77 spray to combine the mdf spoil board to the granite. I also surfaced the board and I'm now only getting...

I'm trying to figure a way to hold a spoil board to granite. Because the way the machine is designed there is nothing in the middle to support just a spoil board so I figured if I put a peice of...

Drools,

I not sure if you have fully looked through the plans yet. There is a file located in the downloaded zip file under documents folder that has a bill of materials (BOM). The BOM is pretty...

That makes sense. Thanks for the response ;)

Currently I’m building this 8020 router and have about 95% of the parts already ordered and shipped. My question is what purpose do the thrust bearings and shaft collars serve? I’m not going to use a...

I'm currently looking for a 3 Axis Stepper motor kit. I have looked at HobbyCnc's kits and discovered that soldering is required. Is this true for Keling's and Probotix kits as well? The only...

Hey Joe,

I'm looking into building one of your machines but torn between which one to start.

My question is, about how much on average would each kit cost to build using your pre-cut packages.
